Well done. Well said. I was born one month and two days later, so my whole life has been lived under the shadow of "The Bomb". That said, there are no people on Earth who can testify to the terror of its use better than the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And yet we, and others, have waved "The Bomb" like a stick, to enforce our will on others.

I wish there were no "Bombs" at all. Anywhere. And my heart and prayers go out to those who lived through that terror 67 years ago.

The atom bombs did have effects the authorities was not fully aware of. And the bombs were catastrophic to the Japanese society and caused terrible human sufferings. But it was war. And I believe the soldiers risking their lives then, not to mention the soldiers being tortured in Japanese prison camps, had quite another view on the use of the bombs, however effect.
